CARVING POULTRY.
How It Can He Accomplished Without
Once Removing the Fork.

How 1t Can He Accomplished Without
Once Removing the Fork.
An expert carver can divide poultry
without removing the fork from the
breast bone or turning the bird on the
dish, but beginner will do well to
have small fork Mt hand for the pnr-
pose of laying cut portions aside as
the carving progresses. Turn the
bird so that the carving fork can be
held in the left hand and firmly fixed
in the breastbone, and use very
sharp knife with small flexible blade.
First cut off both drum-sticks at the
knee Joint, and then remove the
second Joints With tender bird
this is not difficult matter; but both
strength and skill are needed to cope
successfully with tough or under
done turkey, because very strong
sinews are plentiful about the leg
Joints. Next cut off the first joints Of
the wings and the pinions, and then
the joints nearest the body. This
method of cutting of the first joints of
the legs and wings before separating
them from the body saves that trouble
some feat of holding those members
while they are being disjointed. Ere
quently they slip about the platter and
spAttcr the dish gravy.
After the wings are removed cut Oh
the merry-thousht or wishbone, and
then the wing side bones which holds
the breast to the backbone; then carve
the breast in medium thin slices. and
serve the bird, giving gravy and stuffing
on cash plate. 1.-THE diners are nuner-
GUS it may be necessary to cut of more
of the flesh. and even to dismember the
carcass; this can be done with more or
less case as the carver understands the
anatomy of the bird. II a carver
would study the location OF the joints
while carving. and take the trouble to
cnt up several carcasses by striking
the points where the bones are joined
together. subsequent carving would be
easy. The joints Of all birds are sim.
ilarly placed. so nearly identical in
point of junction that one rs guide to
all others.-Rarper's Bazor.

ises to be one of the most interesting
shooting matches which has occurred in

Wake.

There was an old fashioned wake in the
Inter Ocean barber shop last night. The
victim fell asleep in the barroom and was
laid OUT in a barber chair by George
Taylor and John Myers. Sam Raley
donned a sheet and oficiatcd as chief high
priest, Candles were placed at the head
and feet of the victim and several drinks
taken at his expense. Deceased was
finally awakened by Taylor ringing the
telephone bell to summon Coroner Chaffin.
The celebration lasted thrce-quarters of
an hour and would probably have been in
progress yet but for the resurrection of the
corpse.

j. H. Bintz, the travelling man for the
great Trabing Commercial company of
Laramie, sustained a slight stroke of
paralysis yesterday. The left side of his
face, left arm and tongue are the affected
parts. Physicians who were summoned
express the belief that he will recover and
believe that a second visitation will be
avoided by plentiful open air exercise.
The afflicted gentleman is well known in
this city and has a host of friends through

Pat Cavanaugh, who figured quite
prominently in connection with the beat.
ing of a lewd woman by VIM. Moore,
near Fort Laramie recently, was formerly
a resident of this city, where he posed as
a local terror, being a rough and tumble
fighter of considerable ability. During
the melee preceding the beating of the
female by Moore she and Cavanaugh had
a struggle for the possession of a knife
which the woman was brandishing. In
the tusslc Cavanaugh received a slight
scratch on the neck. When the woman
was ordered to return by Moore he fright,
ened her by stating hat she had muir,
dered Cavanaugh. The latter will prob
ably be q witness in the trial of Moore.

Element from which the gentleman halls
is situated in the great Platte valley, one
of the finest agricultural regions in the
territory. Swan is destined in time to be-
come a thriving city. That section at
present obtains all supplies via Fort Steele
on the Union Pacific, but the prospects of
their securing communication with the
outside world by the completion of the
Fort Steele branch to connect with the
Colorado Midland are most flattering.
Much fine farming land and extensive
coal beds lie on the projected route. Sar-

Whether successful or not, and the
probabilities are that they will he unSuc
rcSSiul, the negotiations uf Mr.. Sully and
Others for the control Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Rlilruad by the purchase Of Mr..
Garrett!s shares probably turn quite as
much on the unique financial situation of
the company as un the Importance of its
system in any consolidation of a north
and south line from New York, the first
in our history. The Baltimore and Ohio
is the only trunk line which has ever been
capitaliZcd. The melon ~ Mr.. w. II.
Vanderbilt said of the Western Union in
The same situation, has never been cut.
and the prOnts involved in The issue OF
new stock on the basis Of other trunk lines
might beggar the public, hut they would
enormously enrich the men conducting
tit 'uI'l piiN'
The Times says: "There is every reason
10 believe that a great railroad COmbina-
ton is on foot to embrace the Baltimore
and Ohio, the Reading, the Jersey Central,
the Richmond and Danville system, the
East Tennessee and the leading Georgia
lines, aud there is obvious wisdom in the
movement. The sharp competition in the
railway trade and travel and the severe re-
strictionS Of the ncw Interstate Com
merrr laws compel just such comhi-
-tious OF our railway lines. The
p.rr.,, --mia Railroad with keener
nercrntion than Its rivals, years ago
appreciated the necessity io5 complete

this combination is simply the imitation
that is the sincerest form of iiattery OF the
Pennsylvania direction. IT isnOw born OF
public necessity, and whether syndicate
shall buy the control of the Baltimore aud
Ohio. or the combination shall be made
otherwise, the early union OF the lines
named * rs probable As it is logical.
The special dispatches to the Times inll'
cate that the premature publication OF the
deal has interlered somewhat with It's con
summation, but that the negotiations are
still in progress.
